Default What to Get????

Hey guys, I got some questions for ya. I want a high performance car and i've got some options. Maybe you can help me out. My mom has a 1991 Eclipse GSX AWD turbo, BLah BLah Blah, its a beast! Its a 10 outa 10, not a scartch, only 30K miles and its running just as good as the day it was driven off the lot brand new, by her. Problem, it is a lil old, and its auto. But for an auto, I havent lossed a race yet. Some other option...My godmother is selling her S2000, its got 5K miles on it and has never been driven in the rain, its pristine! And then theres always the option of buying a MR2 spyder, or I am sure I can find some other good cars as well...Lemme Know what you think.

Call me prejudiced, but I would go with the S2000. I was considering the TT, Boxter, and Z3 and decided on the Stook. I totally enjoy the fact that I have something Iyou don't see every day on the road. Consumer Reports even ranked it hegher than the above and more. Making it their top sports car. It's quick, handles like it's on a rail, and don't forget that wonderful engine. What do you think???

The S2000 is a gem of a sports/roadster

this is the wrong board to ask questions about Eclipses.. Try www.dsmtalk.com
auto talon run high 14s stock (with free mods) in 1/4 if you know how to lauch..
You should be able to run 12s if you get the right mods and good tuning..

It shouldn't be a question of which car to get............
It should be question of, when do i get the s2000.

I wish my godmother had an s2000 and wanted to sell it.

Sounds like you'd enjoy a Z28 or Trans Am...
